NP. The trick about multiple installs is this.

Server starts at the fs_basepath, will load all files there first, then goto
the user folder and load all files there next. So I normally keep a
server.cfg in the main install just in case the user deletes his... the
server will still start.

The user folder does not have to have anything else but the files the user
will use.

example:

/home/$USR/main/server.cfg
/home/$USR/mods/myubermod/server.cfg
/home/$USR/pb/pbfiles

Now the pb folder has to have a legit set of pb files. The user can add his
own configs to his own pb folder.
Using the fs_homepath will ensure that all files that get used in the
/main/$USR folder does not get deposited in /home/$USR/.callofduty hidden
folder.
All logs and pb files will get deposited  in the designated folders as main,
mods and pb.

Since the  user only needs his own files, this saves gigs of space for every
user you create. It also saves on ram :)

Glad it helped.
